I've been in private practice for over 10 years and also present nationally on the topic of Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy. I specialize in a number of areas including sugar/food issues, bipolar disorder, OCD and snxiety disorders.

I have personal experience with a debilitating sugar/food addiction and have recovered using mindfulness and other modalities. I have co-authored the book, "Break Out Of The Sugar Prison: You Can Overcome Sugar Addiction With the Powerful Basic States Mindfulness System and A Cutting Edge Nutritional Program."

As a Somatic Counselor, I recognize that our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our physiology. Using a family systems and communications lens, I practice constructivist therapy, focusing on the behavioral narrative of children, partners, and families. In my view, there is nothing that is not communicated. Whether or not it is verbalized is another question entirely. With a slowed-down opportunity to explore what's happening inside through experiential activities such as play therapy, Hakomi techniques, art, sandplay, constellation work, etc., it becomes possible to experience a different outcome. Ultimately, new experiences teach our brain new habits, supporting relationships with those we love.

As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW,) I am a strength based, systematically minded clinician integrating mindfulness and body awareness practices with grief counseling, trauma informed care, family therapy and child play therapy.

Specializing in working with adult women (20's/30's); emerging adults; young children (2-12yrs) and their families.

My approach is to work collaboratively with my clients - together we build a trusting and safe enough environment to explore, make discoveries and integrate new ways of living life and being in the world.
